Warnings-Language some OC from them.

Author's note-Sorry about the wait I've been sick. And sorry if it sucks. Leave me reviews.

Tifa awoke feeling warm and content, despite the minor headache that seemed to be creeping up on her. Then feeling someones arm tighten around her waist she tensed. Reno. Oh shit oh shit. She knew she got drunk last night but she wasn't drunk enough to sleep with him...right? No she would have remembered that much, she was sure. As soon as she went to get up she felt him nuzzle her shoulder softly.

"Mornin'," Reno breathed in his sleep ridden voice, sending shivers down her back.

"Morning..." She tensed as she sat up breaking out of his warm grasp.

Reno stretched as he yawned, "You okay?" he asked quietly, his aqua eyes briefly meeting hers.

"Uh...yeah...I need to shower..." Tifa said before she let her eyes roam back to him, starting at the hem of his pants up to his face. Reno was shirtless and wow was the only word she could come up with. Her eyes snapped back to his in an instant when she felt the backs of his fingers brush on her arm.

"Enjoying the view, yo?" Reno smirked.

Tifa blushed and got up. Now Reno sat up and watched her stand, her legs were bare and toned and damn. "Damn Lockhart!" He just couldn't help it. When she heard this Tifa whirled around, picked up her pillow and smacked him with it.

"Hey!" Reno now picked up and pillow and hit her back causing the martial artist to yelp and laugh. Tifa hit him back through her laughter, which made Reno laugh, it was just contagious. Reno sat up on his knees and hit her back. This time Tifa threw her pillow at him, tried to run to the bathroom to hide and shrieked when he lept off the bed to grab her. Just as Tifa made it into the bathroom Reno grabbed her around the waist. He picked he up like that, with both of his arms around her waist tightly, and stood there for a brief moment letting her flail.

"Your not going anywhere," he said softly into her neck.

"Reno!" she yelped trying to ignore the heat waves that just rolled down her body. Reno walked over to her shower and stepped in it, he shut the frosted glass door behind him. Quickly he set her down and turned on the water, she'd forgotten he could move that fast. Reno opened the door and tried to escape only to feel Tifa grab his arm and pull. Quickly she pulled him back under the cold stream of water along with her. Reno yelped when the cold water hit his warm skin.

Tifa laughed and tried to scramble for the door, with no such luck. Reno grabbed her arms and pinned her to the shower wall, making sure she was under the stream just as much as he was. Tifa yelped as the cold water hit her skin. Reno smirked down at her, a playful glint in his eyes.

"Reno..." Tifa was still smiling but her voice had dropped to just above a whisper.

"Yes?" Reno flicked his gaze to her full lips and back to her eyes.

"The water's cold..." it was really the first thing she could think of.

The Turk reached over and flipped the hot water on as well, not taking his eyes from hers.

"Better?" Reno practically purred, not to mention that she could feel his hot breath across her lips.

"Yeah..." She had to be loosing her mind now. There was no doubt about it.

"Good," Reno placed a light kiss on her cheek, smirked and stepped out of the shower.

"What. The. Fuck." Tifa cursed at the redhead who managed to get her worked up so fast. Sighing she pulled off her wet clothes and chucked them outside of the door and began her real shower before the hot water ran out.

Once she was done she stepped out of the bathroom clad in a fuzzy black towel. Walking back into her bedroom she looked around for the Turk. "Reno?"

"Yes?" The redhead said from behind her. Whirling around Tifa was met with a towel clad Reno.

"Where are you pants?!"

"In the dryer, be happy I'm not walking around nude," He grinned at her. "Of course you might like it.."

"In your dreams," Tifa turned around and began to rummage through her dresser. After she pulled out her clothes for the day she turned back around to face the Turk. "Are you going to shower?"

"Here? I guess I could..." Reno paused for a moment, "Wana join me?"

"No Reno," Tifa then pushed him out of her room and shut the door.

Tifa finished getting dressed in a white tank top and black leather pants, as she heard the shower turn on. Tifa brushed her hair and applied a light amount of eye make up before she walked out of her bedroom and into the small kitchenette. She started the coffee and walked over to the refrigerator in search of breakfast. Finding nothing suitable she gave up and sat down, waiting for the coffee. Tifa sighed softly, she just couldn't seem to keep her thoughts from wandering to the cocky redhead. Its not like they were enemys anymore so there really wasn't a problem with him being here. She got up from her chair and walked over to the cupboards to retrieve two coffee cups. Standing on her tip toes she grabbed two mugs and set them down on the counter in front of her. Turning back around she smiled when she seen the redhead standing in the doorway, clothed in his usual outfit sans the tie and jacket.

"Hey, how do you take it?" Tifa asked warmly as she poured some of the dark liquid into both cups.

"Black, two sugars," Reno said as he sat down at the small table.

Tifa walked over and sat down next to him handing the Turk his coffee. After taking a sip he looked over at her again. "Don't you have to bartend today?"

"No, it's Sunday. Bar's closed...do you have to work?" Tifa took a sip of her coffee.

"Nah I don't have any jobs until after the holidays," Reno said as he looked at the gorgeous girl near him.

"Oh...well hey... I have to go shopping today you know for Christmas gifts...and I was wondering if you wanted to come with me...i have such a hard time picking out gifts for Denzel sometimes.."

Reno smiled, "Yeah sure, I need to find something for Rude anyway."

"Great," Tifa smiled brilliantly at him before she finished her coffee.

After a little while of just relaxing the two were out the door and walking down the street. Tifa was wearing a warm black coat and deep purple gloves. Reno on the other hand was just wearing his suit. Reno looked over at her, she was smiling, Gods she was beautiful.

"Hey Teef, wanna grab some breakfast on the way there?"

"Sure, you paying?" Tifa teased.

"Yeah, let's call it a date," Reno winked at her as she shook her head. Even though inside a small happy feeling erupted.

"Sure Reno," She said sarcastically.

"Seriously Tifa," Reno laid his hand on her arm and stepped in front of her.

"Alright, but this doesn't get you out of shopping with me," She laughed softly.

Turns out Reno was a good companion to go out for food with. He actually could be polite and he made her laugh often without really going out of his way to. Reno ended up paying for the bill and leaving the tip for the waitress as well. Once they were outside he placed a light kiss on her cheek and let her drag him by the hand to the closest store.

Once they were inside Reno looked around, "So what are you looking for?"

"Christmas gifts," Tifa said as she walked over to the toy isle, still holding the Turk's hand.

"For the kids?" Reno grinned and followed her.

"Yeah, Marlene's really excited. I'm not sure what I want to get her...I'm thinking something sweet but I'm not sure," Tifa was practically bouncing with excitement, which was unlike her.

"Well...I'm sure you'll come up with something," Reno said as he let go of her hand, letting her wander around without dragging him along. After about twenty minutes she wandered out front with Reno following her, already lighting a cigarette. Tifa was carrying a bag in one hand and the other was held in Reno's.

"Where to next?"

"Well I already got a shirt for Cloud...so I think... I need to go get something for Yuffie and Vincent," Tifa's smile was still bright although it dimmed a bit when she said the word Cloud.

Reno kissed the top of her head lightly as he flicked his cigarette out into the street. Tifa's smile returned and she leaned her head on Reno's shoulder. The two kept walking until they ended up out front of another shop. Reno looked up at the sign, Naughty Kitty's.

"What are we doin here...into the kinky things eh?" Reno teased as he watched her face blush.

"I want to find something sexy for Yuffie..."

"And that'd be present enough for her lover?" Reno grinned.

"Possibly but I'll find him something... or maybe you can do that..."

Tifa sucked in a breath for bravery and walked into the shop. Suddenly they were greeted by a happy young girl, "Hello there what can I do for you two today?"

"Well I uh...I'm looking for some kind of sexy semi see-through...lingere..." Tifa was blushing horribly causing Reno to grin even more.

"Okay then...I'll help you get started then leave to rest to you and your boyfriend," If it was possible Tifa was a shade darker.

"Alright, come on sweetheart," Reno grinned at her.

The girl led them to a section in the clothing department and pulled out a few things for suggestion before she walked away to help another costumer. Tifa idly looked at the things that the saleswoman offered her.

"Whatcha think?" Reno asked standing beside her idlely playing with her fingers as he held her hand.

"Uhm for Yuffie... hm...i kind of like this one," Tifa held up a partially sheer, revealing, green kimono styled dress that stopped at her upper thigh. It came with a matching thong. Reno was quiet for a moment.

"What?" Tifa turned around and faced him.

"I didn't say anything."

"That's why I'm asking..." Tifa looked at him, the blush still tinting her features.

"Oh... well... I think it suits her, all ninja like...but this one...i like it, a lot," Reno held up a sheer chemise with silk over the bust part of it along with the straps and the edges of the bottom. It was a midnight blue color as was the matching g-string with a butterfly design on the font.

"For Yuffie?"

"No, for you. Don't give me that look, you'd be so sexy in this. Or in a Mrs. Claus outfit..." Reno grinned mischievously.

"Mrs. Claus? Into the roll playing thing Reno?" Tifa teased even though she knew she was blushing horribly.

"It's Christmas time, babe. Sides your cute when you blush," Reno smiled and pulled her to him, wrapping his arm around her waist, still keeping her hand in his.

"Reno your a pig," Tifa laughed as she said it.

"You love it," He smirked let go of her.

"Yeah okay. I'm going to get this for her. Can I trust you alone in this store?" Tifa teased.

"Yeah, I'll be outside anyway...need a smoke," Reno grinned and walked outside. After a few minutes Tifa joined him, a small smile on her lips.

"Where to now?" Reno asked around his cigarette.

"Hm I don't know. I know im cold and I kind of want to curl up with a cup of coca with a warm blanket..." Tifa smiled softly as they began to walk.

"Sounds fun," Reno flicked his cigarette butt into the street.

"What are your plans tonight?" Tifa looked over at him.

"I don't know go home, get drunk, pass out..." Reno flicked his gaze over to her and smiled sheepishly.

"That's your plan? Come share hot chocolatey goodness with me... I promise no more girly things," Tifa smiled warmly at the redhead.

"I don't know...no more of this shopping? I'm not gay yano..." Reno grinned.

"I know. No more shopping, it's too cold for this walking thing."

"Alright," Reno said with a smile as he wrapped an arm around Tifa and pulled her close to him. Tifa smiled and wrapped her arm around his waist as she leaned her head on his shoulder. As they turned the corner to the street that Seventh Heaven was on it began to snow again. Reno pulled Tifa closer to himself as they quickened their pace. Finally after what seemed like forever they made it inside the bar. Tifa shut and locked the door before they made their way upstairs.

Tifa set down the bags and pulled off her coat and gloves. She looked over at Reno who was shivering as he took off his shoes. Tifa took her own shoes off and walked into her bedroom. After a few minutes she came out in baggy grey sweat pants, a white tank top with a zip up hoodie over it. She walked over to Reno and handed him a white cotton t-shirt and a pair of black sweat pants.

"Yuffie got them for me one day but they were too big..." Tifa left him to change as she walked into the kitchenette. She warmed a cup of water in the microwave and brought out the can of powdered coca from the cupboard. Once the water was hot she mixed the chocolate with it and added some milk. Turning around with a cup in each hand Tifa walked into the other room and found Reno sitting on her bed, leaning against the headboard, wrapped in a blanket. She smiled softly as she walked over to him. Handing him the cup she sat down beside the Turk.

"Don't be a blanket hog Reno," Tifa teased. Reno smiled and unwrapped part of the blanket from himself for her. She scooted over to him and he wrapped the blanket around her. Reno sipped the coca and kept his other arm around Tifa. She didn't seem to mind. In fact she seemed really comfortable with him lately.

"So why have you been nice to me lately," Reno asked softly.

"I need a reason? I guess I like having you around and being a cold hearted bitch doesn't seem to be the best option," She took a sip of her coca.

"Well I'm glad you like having me around, Teef. I like seeing the happy side of you, not the irritated part that's usually there when you're working."

"Yeah a bunch of drunk people hitting on you will do that. You're around here enough you know what goes on."

"Yeah, usually I'm one of the one's hitting on you," Reno smirked.

"Yes you are, but I trust you enough not to try to hurt me or something."

Reno met her eyes, "You trust me, yo?"

"I think so, yeah," Tifa smiled softly.

"Wow... that means a lot to me. More so coming from you," Reno looked at the cup in his hand.

"Reno, I've forgiven you for anything you've done. So why wouldn't I trust you. You did save me and all last night," Tifa cupped his face in her hand drawing his gaze back to her.

"Yeah, it wasn't a big deal. Just didn't want anything happening to you. You're one of the few people I care about besides Rude," Reno said softly and kissed the palm of her hand.

"Thanks Reno," Tifa giggled slightly as she removed her hand.

"So, how are you anyway?" Reno asked getting the focus off himself.

"Me? I'm good. I'm warm with coca and I'm not alone," She smiled.

"Hm that's always good. How about the moving on from Cloud thing?" Reno asked as he set the empty mug on the bedside stand.

"Oh...um it's getting better. It's not easy but it seems that every day is getting better. I know they are better people out there for me and I feel like I can be happy with someone that's not Cloud. Maybe more so than I could if I was with him. You've shown me that. Although there are moments where I feel like some thing's wrong with me, like I'm not good enough..."

"Tifa, nothing is wrong with you. And anyone who doesn't think you're good enough doesn't know what they're missing," Reno brought his hand up to her face and ran his thumb along her jawline. Tifa smiled softly and blushed lightly. The turk dipped his head and kissed her softly on the lips. It wasn't a long kiss but it was soft and gentle. That alone was enough.

"I like you a lot Teef. And I know you're going he's just a womanizing shit but I'm really not. I want to be with you if you'd ever let me..."

"I... want to Reno. I just don't want to hurt you. And I don't think that badly of you," She smiled.

"Yeah...that's good. I'm sorry I brought it up I didn't mean to pressure you or something," Reno felt awkward now.

"Don't apologize. It's good to feel wanted. Besides you wouldn't be in my bed if I didn't feel the same," Tifa said as she set her cup beside Reno's.

"Hey you admitted you like me, yo," Reno smirked causing Tifa to giggle.

"Yeah I guess I did." Tifa smiled and kissed him warmly. Reno smiled against her lips as he returned the kiss. He held her softly to him as he kissed her. Tifa gasped lightly as his lips found her jawline, after he kissed her hotly there he moved to the rest of her face. He peppered her face with featherlight kisses. Causing her to giggle.

"Reno," Said redhead looked up and grinned.

"Sorry."

"It's fine," Tifa smiled and curled up, resting her head on his shoulder. She yawned and snuggled closer to him, causing the Turk to smile.

"Am I staying here again?"

"Yes, I'll let you go home tomorrow," Tifa said tiredly.

"Okay that works," Reno laid down as he held the brunett to him.

"Mm... is this okay with you?"

"Tifa, come on. I should be asking you that."

"Yes I'm okay with it. I'm usually not into the contact thing but I guess your special or something," Tifa smiled and curled up to him.

"Thanks," Reno kissed her softly as he held her.

"Yeah," Tifa closed her eyes and made herself comfortable on his chest. "Night Reno."

"Night Teef," Reno kissed her again and then decided to try to sleep.
